Poorly made, less than a B Movie. Too much Blah, blah, blah, blah between poorly done action scenes. Don't waste your money, wait till it's free.

I love zombies
johanzetterman26 July 2022
I love almoust all things from the zombie horror genre but this movie was sooooo bad i started playing on my phone and just had the movie going in background. Didnt even finished it. Gave it 2 stars only because it tried to be a "real" movie n wasnt made by a bunch of friends with no budget and an Iphone camera. Dont watch it!!!! If you wanna watch a low budget zombie movie;rather watch Chrysalis from 2014. Way better than this piece of crap.
As boring as it was pointless...

Yeah, well when I sat down to watch the 2021 movie "Escape to the Cove", I must admit that I was lured in by the promise of it being a zombie movie. But, as it would turn out, then I was in for a boring movie.
The storyline told in "Escape to the Cove", as written by writer and director Robert Enriquez was just incredibly slow paced and rather mundane. Nay, I will actually say that the storyline told in the movie was downright pointless and utterly boring. Not even 15 minutes into the ordeal that is "Escape to the Cove" then I was fast losing interest in the movie.
Any my waning interest weren't exactly invigorated by some mundane and emotionless acting performances. But of course, the actors and actresses in the movie literally had nothing to work with in terms of a well-written and interesting script and storyline, much less having anything even resembling appealing and fascinating characters to work with.
For a zombie movie then "Escape to the Cove" was just a lousy movie. There was no atmosphere in the movie, and everything that transpired throughout the incredibly slow paced storyline seemed of little or no worth. And it didn't really help that the movie didn't have an ounce of proper atmosphere or feel to it of a world ravaged by a pandemic and overrun with zombies. Everything was just too neat, clean and sterile.
If you enjoy zombie movies, like I do, then you must do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "Escape to the Cove". Some of us suffered through this train wreck of a movie so you don't have to.
My rating of writer and director Robert Enriquez's 2021 movie lands on a generous two out of ten stars. This movie was actually every bit as boring as it was pointless.

Not my problem

Warning: Spoilers
A pandemic which causes people to wear masks and also shuts down restaurants turns people into zombies who are called "wanderers" as if there is some sort of copyright on the word "zombie." Cairo Yazid (Garrett Barghash) your basic sniveling coward is looking for "The Cove" an area where they have rebuilt and there are no zombies. Benjamin Solomon (Robert Enriquez) knows how to get there but can't find a single boat among the 100's in the marina that can make it there. There are also five pirates that want to go there also so they can do the ba dunkadunk with Ben's daughter. This is all because Eric Roberts got shot in his first scene.
Not a lot of zombie action. Acting wasn't great. Mostly a bad drama.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Worse than Bad

Boring and no effort put into convincing Zombies..
wbsimsjr-3240526 April 2021
Just something missing in this B effort.. The zombies..look like they were picked up at the local greasy spoon and got a coat of ketchup and black ink. Not that we'd technically know Zombies would walk....but no effort into convincing zombie choreo. Some scenes just fell flat. It wasn't as horrible as "First Signal" but I wasn't in the mood to watch this anymore than 15 minutes..
kinda good..

The Cove

A lot of people may wonder, what does the B and S in our site name stand for?
Eric Roberts.
Seriously, we've covered so many movies by today's John Carradine that I feel like Mr. Roberts may as well be in my kitchen fixing himself up a bowl of Ghostbusters cereal.
So anyways, here's this month's bit of Eric, a movie in which...a pandemic has ravaged the Earth.
Oh man - do I want another pandemic movie despite most of my day job being dealing with it?
"It's cool, Sam," yelled Eric from upstairs. "You have any crackers for this hummus?"
So while I ponder the iron stomach of Eric Roberts, a man who can drink milk and hot pepper hummus at the same time, let us move to a place where not only famine and piracy are day-to-day affairs, but so are zombies.
Produced, directed, written and featuring Robert Enriquez, this movie has a lot of talking before we get to the action, with Roberts showing up as a flashback and not in the main narrative. But man, that's how the man likes to work. He's in my pool right now recording audio for another movie about an answering machine that gets plugged in and realizes that all the other answering machines are no longer in use so it goes on a rampage.
The zombies in this are called Wanderers, though, which is a good term for them. So kudos on that part of the script. It's a real challenge to make a zombie movie these days when it feels like absolutely everything has been done, so I have to give it to the filmmakers to include aquatic undead, which is a nice touch as well.

Very Cute for a Zombie Movie
KILERQUEEN27 May 2023
I love everything zombies! I did enjoy this movie. I thought the movie was vert "cute." Let's talk about the zombies first. The land zombies I could not stand! They look blind so how is it they can only sense you if you are moving? This movie made it look like the zombies were contemplating on what they should do. The sea lion zombies were awesome! Do I believe zombies can swim? Not really, but I do believe they do not need oxygen to live since they are already dead. I thought that part though was a nice touch. The acting I did not think was bad except for the actor who played Luther. Every time he opened his mouth it was very cringe. The story line is what I thought was cute. It was different, which I enjoyed. I felt happy that the daughter went to finally look for her dad. I would recommend this movie.
Fun LA apocalypse story

Enjoyable Film and Story of Hope
dwightp-7326811 May 2021
Escape to the Cove is a very enjoyable Independent film of what life might be like after an apocalyptic event. Good guys, Bad guys, Zombies, and great Cinematography all combine to tell a story of hope, and survival.
A little TIP All!
pinkiepink-2515015 May 2022
Any Movie E. Roberts stars in is a HUGE Flop!! For 45 years, He has gone down hill. Many Many years ago He took pride in every Movie He has starred in. Movies and Actors is my Hobby for 50 years.....Like R. DeNiro They now just Star in "JUNK" Type Movies,Ya know Laa Bombas!!!! So as much as I am attracted to these types of Movies, I am NOT Paying a Nickel to watch One..This my Friends is a SAD Fact!!!
